I have installed vim-gtk and vim-addons-manager on my ubuntu 14.04, and also the latex-suite plugin. This I did with

sudo apt-get install vim-latexsuite
vim-addon-manager enable latex-suite

which put all the files into my ~/.vim directory. However, I can't seem to make that plugin known to gvim when I start. I have two issues:

  1. The :scriptnames command gives me just one screen's worth of output, and any key immediately kills the buffer, so I can't scroll through it and see what is, and what isn't, installed. How can I scroll through this buffer?
  2. I have got the help of latex-suite installed, so that :h latex-suite gives me the helpfile. But the command :TTemplate as recommended here: Install vim-latex on Ubuntu 15 produces an error, that it's "not an editor command".

Note that of my two commands above, the second is supposed to be unnecessary; once vim-latexsuite is installed using apt-get it should run automatically. But it didn't, and doesn't.

Any advice would be very welcome!

  • If you press enter or down arrow, you will be able to see the rest of the script names. `:TTemplate` or whatever, it will executed only if such editor command is found. By default, editor commands don't start with capital letter. So, it must be a user defined or plugin command. That command might call another function like `:call Template`. You need to check whether such command exists or not. – SibiCoder Jun 08 '16 at 06:43
  • Thank you, but no - pressing enter, or arrow keys, or *any key at all* immediately kills the `:scriptnames` buffer. I'm trying to see if I can load `latex-suite` as a plugin using `vim-plug` but so far without success. – Alasdair McAndrew Jun 08 '16 at 06:58
  • Do you need to use vim-gtk in particular rather than vim-gnome? it seems to work with the latter (at least, for me) – steeldriver Jun 08 '16 at 07:12
  • Well, I use kde, so I thought that vim-gtk would be OK. But the GUI (gtk, gnome, athena) shoudn't make any difference to the handling of plugins. – Alasdair McAndrew Jun 08 '16 at 07:16
